New Act

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Child Support Payment Act. Provides that an obligor under an order for support of a child may make any payment of child support required under that order at a currency exchange. Provides that when an obligor makes a payment of child support at a currency exchange, the obligor must provide the currency exchange with information sufficient to enable the currency exchange to transmit the amount of the payment to the obligee under the order for support. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions substantially similar to those of House Bill 783, creating the Child Support Payment Act, except requires an obligor to provide a currency exchange with information sufficient to enable the currency exchange to transmit the amount of the child support payment to the State Disbursement Unit (instead of the obligee), as defined in the Income Withholding for Support Act, under the order for support. Effective immediately.
